Opens Season
Friday Night
By Coach Van Brunt
Friday, Nov. 15, BCHS will ।
open their basketball season as '
host to Ludowici High School.
Game time will be 7 p.m.
The girls basketball team '
this year will be starting three .
experienced forwards; Betty
Hughes, Darlene Butler, and
Linda Williamson will offer a
very balanced scoring attack.
Inexperience will be the key
problem in the guards position.
There are five girls who are
still fighting for a starting
positiong. They are Donna
Jones, Carolyn Warnell, Mari
lyn Wilson, Debbie Raulerson,
and Pam Cowart. These girls
offer a tremendous amount of
desire.
The girls this year have good
potential and we believe they
will have a successful season.
Although the boys team has
only two returning starters,
they will have an experienced
team. Depth will not be a prob
lem this year since there are
eight boys fighting for a start
er position. The probable start
ers will be picked from Johnny
Miller, William Lane, Douglas
DeLoach, and Mike Butler.
The boys will have a fast
team and if they can come to
gether as a unit it should prove
to be a successful season.
Captain and co-captain for
the girls team are Darlene But
ler, captain, and Betty Hughes,
co-captain. Mike Butler is cap
tain of the boys team and
Douglas DeLoach is co-captain.
Two boys who have worked
as hard as any member of the
team are Randy Fountain and
David Warnell. They act as
trainer and manager for both
teams.
Both ball teams have worked
very hard this year in trying
to become teams of w’hich the
school, town, and county can be
proud. Please support them.

To make America truly “one nation under God”--its citizens
deeply conscious of the transcendence of religious faith in the
nation’s heritage and future; aware that we have always been
M and must always be a religious nation, trusting firmly in God M.
’ as our protector, guide and source of strength; acknowledging
w Him as the author of freedom and architect of the Republic; M.
and fully realizing that only as “one nation under God” can we
y preserve “liberty and justice for all.” J^.
W These are the reasons that we, the members of Swainsboro
“ Exchange Club, bring to your attention the fact that November
W is “One Nation Under God Month.” Let us each celebrate it M.
’ appropriately.

AMERICAN'S CREED
M I believe in the United States of America as a government
of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers
W are derived from'’the consent of the governed; a democracy
’ in a Republic; a sovereign State; a perfect Union, one and
y inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom,
~ equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots
y sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it;
M to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its
flag; and tq defend it against all enemies.

A Letter To Our Customers
Dear Friends and Customers
Please forgive me for so many changes in our
opening and closing hours. I am only trying to
work out the best plan for you, our customers. This
is caused by our wage and hour laws. The law
says over a certain number of hours each week we
must pay "overtime," which increases our labor
cost by 50%. In order to give you the lowest prices
possible we must hold these expenses to a minimum.
We are trying to be open the hours that will
please the greatest number of our customers. We
also ask you to remember that we do not dose one
half day per week like most stores, because we
realize this causes a great amount of inconvenience
to our customers.
We appreciate our friends and customers, for
without them we could not stay in business. I as
sure you we are interested in you and do not wish
to cause you any hardships. .However we do have
to comply with all the laws passed by our govern
ment. These changes are brought about by these
new wage and hour laws effecting grocery stores
of this size.
We beg your cooperation in this and wish to
say to you that we always strive to give you the
best service possible and stay within the law.
Thanking you for the business you have given me
in the past I am
Sincerely Your Friend
